# Futardio platform shows bimodal launch distribution where most projects refund but viral community-resonant projects raise 100x+ targets, indicating futarchy selects for community signal rather than team credentials

As of April 11, 2026, futard.io had processed 53 total launches with $17.9M committed across 1,035 funders. The distribution pattern is starkly bimodal: most completed launches are in REFUNDING status, but two extreme outliers achieved massive overraises. Superclaw (autonomous self-improving AI agent infrastructure) raised $6.0M on a $50k target (11,902% overraise), and Futardio cult (first futarchy-governed meme coin) raised $11.4M on a $50k target (22,806% overraise). This bifurcation suggests futarchy's selection mechanism operates differently than traditional venture capital or ICO models. Rather than selecting for team pedigree, technical credentials, or business plan sophistication, the mechanism appears to select for projects that generate strong community signal within the futarchy ecosystem itself. The two 100x+ outliers are both culturally resonant projects (AI agent infrastructure and meme coin) rather than traditional business models. This distribution pattern indicates futarchy may be optimizing for viral community fit and cultural alignment rather than conventional startup quality metrics. The mechanism rewards projects that can mobilize the futarchy community's attention and capital, creating a selection pressure toward projects with strong memetic properties.
